Administration and Evaluation

The course will be administered and evaluated by Nancy Adams, HU campus librarian. Mrs. Adams will provide the plagiarism training course as a guest speaker during freshman level English composition courses.

The campus librarian will keep plagiarism records and signed pledge forms on file should a plagiarism incidence occur. Administrators will pull student pledge forms as a documentation to support any disciplinary decisions. Mrs. Adams will keep a plagiarism journal of requests from professors to check on suspected plagiarism.

Formative Evaluation:

Formative Evaluation Questions will be presented during the e-learning module; “The Plagiarism Pledge”. Plagiarism will be defined and high profile illustrations will be shown. Formative questions will be asked of the students to identify the definition of plagiarism by correctly guessing realistic campus examples.

Small group activities: Four small group activities will be formed. Each group will have a different topic. Small groups will be called in the order of the modules during breaks in the formative assessment game.

After the fifteen minute activity, the facilitator will use an interactive matching game to assess the main points of the film for retention. Each small group will share the results of their findings with the rest of the class.

A power point slide show will have interactive matching game slides at the end of the e-learning module. An interactive quiz will be formed using Google docs and will be hosted on wikispaces for students to access at the end of the class on their own personal laptop computers. A paper version will be available for instructors should technology fail. The quiz will have ten multiple choice questions. Answers will be tracked automatically through spreadsheets.

The librarian will be able to assess student’s who are having difficulty with comprehension by going over the questions with individual students if necessary. Students that have less than eight responses correct should have the facilitator go over the answers again and retake the quiz. Students with less than six correct answers should have a personal counseling session with the librarian or instructor by appointment before retaking the quiz.
HU should maintain all test results in its database to track students. Plagiarism training should include test results and supporting documentation for any additional training should a plagiarism incident occur.
